Displaing Icons on Push Button

Hello Everyone,
Can someone help me how to display icons on push buttons?
Thanks

Oh come on,
don't do this to me. I was under the impression that this paper I wrote was easy to understand and contains all information needed to get this running ;-(
Lets try and find the trouble maker:
The Whitepaper works for Forms on the Web, are you on the Web or client/server?
If client/server use icons in .ico format and set the directory path for the icons in teh UI_ICON registry variable.
If you are on the Web and use Forms6i, follow the instructions regarding referencing the icon location in the registry.dat file and map the directory you refer to in teh httpd.conf file of the Apache HTTP Server
If you are on Forms9i then the paper is all you need.

3. Changed the formsweb.cfg
imageBase=codeBase
archive_jini=f90all_jinit.jar,images.jar
( here I even tried Flip flopping the two values. The Jinitior part wored but the image still does not show.)
4. Saved the file , started the listner and ran the test form.

How to display JPG Icons on push buttons

Hi there,
I have come to know that some changes are required in registry.dat file to get jpg images displayed on a push button. Please let me know about the changes required in detail.
Thanks

Ali,
for the registry dat file all the required informationm is in there. Create a virtual directory in your HTTP server to reference the physical directory that holds your images.Open registry.dat and scroll down a bit. You find the section where you can set the image type to use jpg or gif and the virtual path. Add your virtual path as shown in the examples in this file.
Just add the name of the jpg file, with no extension, to the button's icon name property.
Alternatively you can use jar files to hold icons too. If you do a search ion this forum then you'll find a lot of comments on that.

Trouble displaying icon on push button in 6i Forms

Hi,
I'm having trouble displaying an icon on a button at both design and run times. I'm using Forms 6i with client/server enviornment. I have tried to follow several forums regarding icon setup and the Whitepaper articles. I have tried different suggestions but am still unable to get the icon. Here's my latest attempt:
1. Copied .jar file to C:\Oracle_Developer_9i\forms90\java folder
2. Modified formsweb.cfg (in the serverApp=default section) and included the following:
archive_jini=f90all_jinit.jar,myAppIcons.jar
imagebase=codebase
3. In button's properties I set:
iconic = 'Yes'
icon filename = C:\Oracle_Developer_9i\forms90\java\myAppIcons.jar
My guess is that I didn't copy the icon files (from the .jar file) correctly. As suggested in the Whitepaper, I don't have the c:\ myApp\ icons directory. I did a search for an icon directory and found multiple icons folders (due to other oracle projects installed on my pc) but don't know which one to use. Being that I'm using 6i and the instructions were for 9i I didn't know if the directory/folder name is different. Is there another directory/folder (using 6i) where I should copy all the .gif files from in addition to storing the .jar file in the C:\Oracle_Developer_9i\forms90\java directory?
Also, I feel that I'm not calling it correctly from the location in step 3. Being that the icon exists in the jar file, how would I reference it within the file? Does anybody have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Eric

Robin,
I tried your suggestions but am still unable to view the icon. Here's what I now have tried.
1. I've created UI_ICONS in the windows registry under the form's oracle home and am calling c:\icons from that variable.
2. In c:\icons, I copied the .jar file's contents (search.gif) into this folder. This is where I may have a problem in addition to my next step in calling the filename. You mentioned in your first post to put my .ICO files there. Should I rename my .gif to .ico? Not sure if I followed you there.
3. In the button property, I set icon = yes and icon filename = c:\icons\search.gif -- Not sure if I used the right syntax for the filename. I've tried renaming it to .ico and it still does not display.
Sorry about all the questions but I really appreciate your help. Do you see anything else that I did that may cause it to not display?
Thanks again,
Eric

Hi,
you have to create a jar file of the pic and have to place it in java folder .
Also have to edit cfg file in server folder .in that you have to include the jar file name in parameter archive_jini =
iconic property of button should set yes
give the name of jar file without any extension( suppose list.jar you just give list ) in the iconic name property

How to upload an icon for a toolbar push button

I'd like to be able to define/upload an icon that I can use for a new push button on a toolbar for the FB03 screen.
1) How can I upload the button icon?
      From here?
      ABAP User Dialogs ->Screens ->Complex Screen Elements ->GUI controls on screen
      Or somewhere totally differently?
2) What file format does a button icon need to be in and what is the suggested pixel size?
This is how I'm thinking of creating the button:
lv_icon             = '@11@'.
adding button to toolbar
call method gref_toolbar->add_button
   exporting
    fcode            = lv_fcode
    icon             = lv_icon
    is_disabled      = lv_is_disabled
    butn_type        = cntb_btype_button
    quickinfo        = lv_quickinfo
   exceptions
    cntl_error       = 1
    cntb_btype_error = 2
    cntb_error_fcode = 3
    others           = 4

Hi
In Module Pool Programming (Or Dialog Programming) we can set the icons to buttons in the Menu Painter (SE 41).
Go to SE41 and select the FCODE for which you want to upload icon. Double Click on the FCODE it will POP a Screen
in which you can see the field to upload icon.
Hope this would help you.

Issue with Icons display in PUSH BUTTONS in forms 11g

Hello,
This is regarding an issue with the icons background for the push buttons in the forms 11g. When we enable the icons for the buttons (.gif) they are visible on the
top left corner of the buttons and not in the centre. In one of the forums it was written like this is a common problem in Forms 11g. Is there any way by which we can
centralize this icons on the Forms buttons. Also I have heard that image editing tools can be used to centralize the icons. I tried with one of the tools but it seems
like it is not working.
Can somebody suggest a workaround for this?
Thanks in Advance
Ram

I will assume you are attempting to use the images included in the Forms applet jar. These images are purposely structured so that the subject is off-centered. You should not see that same behavior if you use your own images or edit the ones built-in to Forms. However, keep in mind that the images packaged in the Forms applet jar are intended to be used in a menu toolbar and not custom buttons.
For more information, refer to MyOracleSupport note 1391073.1 where I explain this in detail.

Dynamically change icon name of push button

Hi,
I would like to ask how to dynamically change the icon name attribute of a push button in dialog programming. What is the syntax for assigning an icon name during runtime?
I am currently doing a multiple selection function for KNA1-KUNNR.
Initially, the icon name is ICON_ENTER_MORE. When the user picks up more than one customer, it should automatically change to ICON_DISPLAY_MORE. How can I do this?
here's the code i currently have:
DESCRIBE TABLE kunnr_ran LINES l_kunnr.
IF l_kunnr > 1.
      g_add_multiple = 'X'.
BT_MULT_CUST-icon_name = 'ICON_DISPLAY_MORE'.
ELSEIF l_kunnr = 1.
     CLEAR g_add_multiple.
BT_MULT_CUST-icon_name = 'ICON_ENTER_MORE'.
ENDIF.
The name of my pushbutton is BT_MULT_CUST.
The code in ** is not correct. I don't know the syntax in SAP. But that is how it is done in VB for example.
Thank you.
che =)

If you have not found your answer already, please try the following:
1) In screen layout painter: for the pushbutton in question (i.e. pb_multi_select), mark the "Output field" on the program attributes tab in the attributes window for the pushbutton. Make sure that its visible length is at least 2 too. This will "gray out" the "Text" and other fields.
2) In the TOP INCLUDE of the module program: add a variable for the pushbutton that is of type "icons-text" and don't forget to include <icons>. Below is an example
INCLUDE <icon>
DATA: pb_multi_select TYPE icons-text.
3) In a module called in the PBO modules for the screen that needs its button changed, call the function "ICON_CREATE" and pass at minimum the name of the icon and the field that you specified in step 2. Below is an example using the icon "ICON_DISPLAY_MORE", "ICON_ENTER_MORE", and a flag variable "MULTI_SEL_INFO_EXISTS" that indicates if any multiple selection information has already been entered. It would be set by the program (not automatically, but by coding) prior to the "IF" statement:
IF multi_sel_info_exists = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION 'ICON_CREATE'
      EXPORTING
         name = 'ICON_DISPLAY_MORE'
      IMPORTING
         result = pb_multi_select.
ELSE.
CALL FUNCTION 'ICON_CREATE'
      EXPORTING
         name = 'ICON_ENTER_MORE'
      IMPORTING
         result = pb_multi_select.
ENDIF.
You can change the button as you see fit with multiple different calls inside of "IF" or "CASE" statements. Please see documentation for "ICON_CREATE" for other parameters.
Hope this helps,
Brian

You need to set the virtaul path of the directory that
containsthe gif filles in the listener configuration
example n:\myapps\gif\ /web_gifs/
then in the registry of the application server
for FORMS50_PATH add n:\myapps\gif
Hope this helps,

I want a push button for line items in my sales order entry screen.

Hi,
I want a push button for line items in my sales order entry screen.
How can I do so?
Thanks.

Hi Kumar ,
To have a push buttons you need to first assign a pf-status .
here a sample code for a push button and its handling :
set pf-status 'SELECT' .
at user-command .
describe table t_lpr lines w_lines .
case sy-ucomm .
    when 'SELECTALL' .
      set pf-status 'SELECT' excluding 'SELECTALL' immediately.
      do w_lines times .
        read line w_line field value w_check . " INTO W_CHECK .
        if w_check = space .
          w_check = 'X' .
          modify line w_line field value w_check.    "INTO W_CHECK .
          add 1 to w_line .
        endif .                        " IF W_CHECK = ' '
      enddo .
Thus when you say pf-status say 'select' , Double click on that and you find a screen eher you can select icons and assign a function code to it!
Hope it helps!
Much Regards,
Amuktha .
